Aikatsu's Narrative Gnawing Gremlin

Just the self absorbed bastard of a gremlin under the bridge gnawing at Aikatsu's narrative and bitching at children's cartoons. I keep my Aikatsu thoughts here, all of them salty enough to keep WcDonalds in business for the next 100 years. I swear I do like the show, though. Most times. (He/him pronouns for the gremlin plz.)

Tried to look up Aikatsu Academy and just got a headache.

Once again, my birthday apparently spells death for aikatsu.

Weird.

Just so we all know, I was cleaning my room and Kaede's dismembered head fell out of a bag I was throwing out.

I guess i had put her acrylic stand in my bag and... well, it broke.

Watching Taimu and Time singing Stardom was... Weird. Not bad weird, just ... Weird.

I wish I could watch Aikatsu Academy stuff, but I can't, so I feel left behind. Shrug.

It was nice to hear Yume again, though. Her voice has definitely changed a bit since Stars.

do you know why plaid patterns are such a popular thing in idol series'? i noticed it's a prominent thing in aikatsu, and obviously the idol precure all have it, but i also remember it being very prominent in kiratto prichan, and presumably other pretty series entries. do you have any ideas?

I can't be sure of this but I think it's akb48. their "approachable idol" concept meant that a lot of their early uniforms were themed after school uniforms with a lot of plaid

if you look at a lineup of akb48 costumes then it kinda makes you think ohhhh this is what aikatsu is drawing on

[hypermediagirl]

idol fan, yeah it's akb

(also traces back further to onyanko club but they had the same producer in aki-p so)

[tsunflowers]

confirmed!
